You don't need to look further than our trending chart to know what the event of the past week was. Apple introduced its latest smartphone trio - the 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max and it got everybody talking about it.
The largest and most premium of the new phones leads from the compact 11 Pro with the vanilla 11 capturing third.
The Redmi 8 Pro had to settle for fourth, while the Galaxy A50 managed to climb two spots to capture fifth.
Nokia 7.2 is down to sixth, while the Galaxy A90 5G took seventh after another strong week.

Apple introduced the latest generation of its smartphones, iPhone 11, and it reminded us of one of its predecessors - the iPhone 4 introduced in early June 2010. Like the 11, this phone brought a change in Apple's naming scheme and design language and its best features were its camera and its display.
The iPhone 3GS had a smoothly curved back made of glossy plastic. Jony Ive's design for the iPhone 4 called for an exposed aluminum frame sandwiched between two panes of strengthened glass - a recipe that has been copied by just about every phone maker since.

Straight off the bat, this is clearly an extremely odd leak. Not only has LG been out of the tablet game for over two years now, but the Snapdragon 821 chipset just seems too old to even be available at this point. That being said, references to the G Pad 5, as well as LM-T600 or code-name TF10 have been creeping up all over the place.
The LM-T600L (or LMT600L) has received a radio certification by RRA in South Korea. More crucially, the same model number was also spotted in a recent kernel source code upload entry on LG's own servers. LMT600, LMT600L and LMT600US were originally...

Apparently vivo is planning an even busier week than we originally thought. Just to recap once again, the NEX 3 5G flagship is scheduled for a September 16 Shanghai unveiling. The V17 Pro will be announced on September 20 and the new Funtouch OS 9.1 is scheduled to drop on September 17. Turns out there is another vivo announcement in the pipeline as well - the TWS Earphone, which will be the Chinese company's take on an Apple AirPods truly wireless alternative.

Yet another case leak for the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 (or perhaps it could be the Pro, we can't really say). To absolutely nobody's surprise, it features a circular camera cut-out on the back, alongside a thin vertical sliver. No surprises these, since we have already seen the same general layout on a number of other case leaks, as well as the recent very detailed CAD renders of the P30 Pro.

LG rolled out the Android Pie update for the V30 in Europe back in July, and now, Verizon's V30 is also getting a taste of Android Pie.
There's no official announcement about the rollout yet, but some V30 users on Verizon have already received the update, which weighs around 2.3GB in size. You can check out the screenshot below to see what the new firmware brings in.
Now that Verizon has started seeding Android Pie for the V30, we expect other US carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T to commence the rollout of Pie shortly as well.

We recently saw a couple of videos revealing the Pixel 4 XL's design and confirming a few specs. There was also a video from the YouTube channel ReLab showing off the 4 XL's gaming performance. Now, we are looking at yet another clip from the same channel which pits the cameras of the Pixel 4 XL and Samsung Galaxy Note10+ against each other.
But, before you proceed, let us inform you that the video is in Vietnamese, so, unless you are familiar with it, you will have to rely on English subtitles to understand what the reviewer is saying.

Vivo apparently has a jam-packed schedule already laid out for next week. First and foremost, there is the NEX 3 5G flagship, with a September 16 Shanghai unveiling. Later that week (September 20, to be exact) the V17 Pro will be making its first official appearance as well. As per a teaser released by the Chinese company, a new version of its own Funtouch OS skin will also be unveiled around the same general time frame, sandwiched in between the the phones.
The video mentions September 16, which means there is a high possibility that both aforementioned vivo phones will ship with the new...

Last month we saw renders of the OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro from OnLeaks which revealed the design of these smartphones. Now, this leakster has revealed the detailed specs of both smartphones, leaving little to the imagination.

While you’re outside, using your phone to browse the web is to be expected, but when you’re at home, it would be more comfortable using a computer. However, there are times when we might prefer using our phones, but that presents a problem when you’re trying to move from phone to PC.However, the good news is that in the latest Chrome Canary, Google has introduced a new feature called “Shared […]

One of the features that we’re seeing more handset makers introduce to their phones is reverse wireless charging, where the phones themselves offer wireless charging capabilities which can charge other devices, like another smartphone or wireless earbuds. This is a feature that had been rumored to find its way to the iPhone 11 lineup.However, at Apple’s event where the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max were […]

Earlier today the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max went up for pre-order in a lot of countries, so it's not very surprising that Apple saw fit to launch its full-on video ad campaign for the iPhone 11 Pro at the same time. These ads should drive some people to hit that Pre-order button, we assume.
The first one is all about toughness, with the phone being put in a high-speed wind tunnel with objects being flung at it. Kids toys, food, ice cubes, hair brushes - they all bounce off the iPhone 11 Pro without leaving a mark. So it looks like we're going to have to wait for the...

iOS 13 has yet to be released, although we heard, it could be coming out next week. However, it seems that ahead of the update’s release, an exploit has already been discovered.

Rodriguez had initially reported […]

Realme CEO Madhav Sheth is once again proud of his company's achievements, this time having to do with how well the new Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro are doing in the Indian market.
As we revealed not long ago, the Realme 5's first sale managed to move over 120,000 units, and now Sheth has posted that the Realme 5 Pro's first sale saw over 130,000 units bought by Indian consumers.
Guys I am happy to announce that we sold more than 1.3 lakh units of realme 5 Pro and 1.2 lakh units of realme 5 in the first sale. And of course, the ratings speak for themselves.#realme5series...

A mysterious Huawei smartphone rocking the new Kirin 990 chipset just appeared on Geekbench and in all likelihood it's either the Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro since the two are close to launch. However, the model number listed in the score sheet is unknown so it might be an entirely different handset.
All we could gather from the listing is that the phone comes with Android 10 and 8GB of RAM out of the box. Could this be another Mate 30 version that we still haven't heard about? Or it could also be the Honor V30, which the company's president confirmed to sport the Kirin 990 with 5G support...

Information about the upcoming Oppo Reno Ace is starting to pile up, most of it delivered by Oppo's Vice President, Brian Shen. Today he shared a little more about the fast charging, teasing the next-generation SuperVOOC on its Weibo Profile.
Brian Shen didn't go into details, but he did mention that the SuperVOOC fast charging will cap at a whopping 65W, which is even faster than the current 50W SuperVOOC. Moreover, the phone will enter mass production as early as next month, so everything appears to be going on schedule for an October release.
Going by previous teasers, the phone...

Apple's new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Max have just gone on pre-order in the first wave of countries to get them.
Shipments will begin a week from now - Septmber 20. At that point pre-orders will open for the second wave of countries.

While US prices are unchanged for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max and down for the 11, there are some price hikes in other markets as our walk around the virtual...

Along with the Realme XT, the company also announced its wireless buds called Realme Buds Wireless. They are super cheap and feature-packed priced at INR 1,799 ($25). And they are already on sale for the next 24 hours.

The buds connect over Bluetooth 5.0 and feature 3-button control on the neck band, which is made of metal, silicon gel and nickel-titanium shape memory alloy for added comfort. They are also pretty...

The just-announced Realme XT features a Snapdragon 712 chipset and a 64MP main camera but it looks as if the handset is getting an upgrade pretty soon. The event's "one more thing" was a teaser for an upgraded version of the phone that is scheduled for December.
Although the poster says "more surprises in December", the Realme XT 730G seems more like a hardware refresh than anything. It highlights the Snapdragon 730G chipset as a centerpiece feature, which is a standard Snapdragon 730 SoC but with better graphics performance due to the higher GPU clock speeds.
It also adds a more...

AnTuTu shared an informative post on Weibo revealing the raw performance of all three iPhone 11s along with the memory configurations.
iPhone 11  iPhone 11 Pro  iPhone 11 Pro Max
As you can see from the screenshots, there's no significant difference between the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max in terms of performance since all three utilize the latest A13 Bionic chipset. More importantly, though, the whole family features 4GB of RAM so the 6GB rumor that was going around before the release turned out to be inaccurate.
This is confirmed even further with the tested iPhone 11...

While on the surface, the differences between the iPhone XR and the iPhone X, XS, and XS Max seemed superficial, like LCD versus OLED, single-camera versus dual-cameras, and so on, there were differences in its software as well. For example, when it comes to taking photos of objects or pets in Portrait Mode, the iPhone XR fell short.However, as noted by MacRumors, it seems that Apple has made some upgrades […]

When Apple announced the new iPhone 11 Pro, they also revealed that the new phones will offer up faster connectivity speeds. It sounds good, doesn’t it? However, Apple did not mention exactly how much faster we might be able to expect, but thanks to SpeedSmart, they have managed to get their hands on test data that shows just how fast we can expect.Now, the speed improvements you can look forward […]

Apple already makes battery cases for its iPhones, but if you’d rather not wait, it seems that Mophie has you covered. For those unfamiliar, Mophie has been creating iPhone battery cases for many years already, so it’s not surprising that the company is back with a new battery case designed for Apple’s new iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max.According to Mophie, the new case Juice Pack Access cases […]

Ahead of Apple’s iPhone event, it was rumored that the company could be getting ready to launch a Tile-like tracking accessory of their own. It was also rumored that the tracker could take advantage of ultra-wideband technology which would make it easier to find and also more accurate when it comes to pinging its location.However, during the event, Apple failed to mention anything about the tracker, but it seems that […]

When it comes to gaming, phones can get pretty hot depending on how much processing power is needed. This is why gaming phones are becoming popular as most of them tend to come with cooling features that might not typically be found on a regular smartphone. However, if you’d rather not buy a gaming smartphone, you might be interested in Razer’s new iPhone case.The company has taken the wraps off […]

Several years ago when Apple launched the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, they introduced a new hardware feature in the form of 3D Touch which brought pressure-sensitive displays to smartphones. It sounded promising in theory, but it was quickly shown that it was more exciting in theory than in practice.So much so that we have heard rumors that Apple could be killing off the feature in its 2019 iPhones. It […]

During today’s Apple media event in Silicon Valley, the company has announced the iPhone 11 ($699+) and the iPhone 11 Pro ($999+), which also features its most powerful camera system to date.The iPhone 11 Pro comes with 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch displays, the latter is called the iPhone 11 Pro Max ($1099+). Apple has slightly pulled back the launch prices since last year, as the launch of the iPhone Xs showed […]

With the flop of the iPhone 5c, we’re sure many were skeptical of the iPhone XR when the device was launched last year. However, apart from the color options, the iPhone XR proved itself to be nothing like the iPhone 5c where it actually outsold the flagship iPhone XS and XS Max models.This is why we have to say that we are pretty excited when Apple announced its successor in […]

Apple Arcade was initially announced in the earlier part of the year. However, Apple declined to mention when the service will be launched or how much it might cost, but today at Apple’s iPhone event, those details have since been officially confirmed.Gamers who are looking forward to the service will be pleased to learn that Apple has confirmed that Apple Arcade will be launching on the 19th of September, which […]

When it comes to to-do list apps, there are plenty of options available in the market, but it looks like Microsoft has decided to add yet another to the list.

There is no doubt that Apple wants users to use its iMessage messaging platform. It is a pretty decent default messaging platform that iOS users can use with each other, and with every iOS update, Apple introduces new features to it. However, one feature that seems to be lacking is message scheduling.As its name implies, this would allow users to schedule messages to be sent at a later date instead […]

These days, our smartphone prices are getting more and more expensive to the point where mid-range handsets are starting to look like pretty good alternatives. This could be the reason why Apple’s iPhone XR is doing so well, because even though at a starting price of $749 isn’t exactly cheap, it is still several hundred dollars cheaper than the iPhone XS and XS Max models.It is also not surprising to […]

When Apple took Touch ID away from its iPhones in favor of Face ID, it seemed like the company was set to on sticking with it for the foreseeable future.

While flagship phones pack a ton of amazing and bleeding edge features, they also come with ridiculous price tags attached to them.

This includes the Nokia 7.2 […]

Whenever Apple hosts an event, they typically make it available for live streaming. However, in the past, the company has made it exclusive to their platforms, where you could either only stream it on an iOS device or a Mac device using their Safari browser. Apple has since slowly expanded its availability, where last year’s event could be watched live on Twitter.This year, it seems that Apple will be trying […]

One of the camera features that we’re seeing rise in popularity these days is zoom.

Huawei Mall has posted a couple of promo videos for the new Huawei P30. The first teases a "Super Bright" image, though it doesn't quite make it clear if that means a super bright display or a night mode for the camera (the P20 and Mate 20 are pretty strong in this regard).
